Just to let everyone know I am having the same problem.All other programs are
able to access the net fine except MSAS.

At least now I know it is not my PC. Two days ago I did a low format (zero
the entire drive) and reinstall WinXP SP2, reinstalled all software and all
critical windows updates. So when I saw that I was getting a "no internet
connection" with MSAS I thought my connection was not set up right. But then
I realized that was not the problem as I'm able to access the internet with
everything else. I even tried the suggestions noted below for those of us who
use a "firewall" (I'm sure most of us, if not all of us) but it did not
resolve the problem.

If you are running Windows XP Firewall Service Pack 2

If you are running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and have the Internet
Firewall enabled with application protection you will want to make sure that
the following Microsoft AntiSpyware applications have permission to access
the Internet:

1. MicrosoftAntiSpywareMain.exe (the primary Microsoft AntiSpyware
application)



2. gcasDtServ.exe (provides access to SpyNet for reporting unknown
applications)



3. MicrosoftAntiSpywareUpdater.exe (provides functionality to update the
latest spyware definitions)



4. gcasServAlert.exe (provides access to SpyNet for reporting unknown
applications)

Mike, the servers are down.

Well, how long will the servers be down. Sevral days is a bit to long. Im
getting a bit nervous here..
 
The servers will be down until someone at Spynet/Microsoft brings them back up.
That someone is probably not in this newsgroup reading these hundreds of
duplicate posts. Hopefully, that someone is currently working on the servers.

Signature definitions are released once per week usually on or shortly after
Thursday. You won't get any updates until then if you are current now no matter
what the status of the servers is... up/down.

This is what is current, as shown in diagnostics:
Spyware Definition Version: 5783
Definitions Increment Version: 136/136
Definitions ThreatAuditThreatData: 1336987
Definitions ThreatAuditScanData: 2926798
Definitions DeterminationData: 741202
